I'm a musician from Buenos Aires (AR) focused on experimental music . I mainly play electric guitar with stuff put between its strings to make strange sounds. I have a couple of bands and also play a lot of improv with musicians from all over.

And I really love to cook all sort of things.

You can hear my crazy music here: www.javierarealvelez.com.ar

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually make a couple of tours outside of Argentina every year, and I always prefer to meet locals to stay with rather than isolating myself in a hotel room !

I'm really into eating the local food and doing things outside the touristic stuff.
